Systemic racism? In Hollywood? The land of diversity? Or is he just talking about award shows?

Hate is so bad that I dream I'm dying someday by myself. Its also the pain after working all the way and getting nowhere only just to say the word against white people who really have no idea how much what matters. Oh joker I'm playing with you. 2kind

I was systematic racism when Crash won the best film Oscar? It was systematic racism when whole Hollywood applauded the racism comments from Spike Lee?

Well...there goes me buying the dvd.

10 points!

Oh boy. Doesn’t exist. Can’t stop something that doesn’t exist.

Yeah... all the hardcore right wing activist film critics... quit licking boots bro.

Literally from the woke commie handbook. 'Systemic racism' 'system of oppression' 'dismantle it'

Racism is an instrument of imperialism that allows you to remove what does not belong to you.

Systemic Racism doesnt exist in the USA.

This is the same guy:

Joaquin Phoenix out here speaking his truth. On many occasions good performances have been snubbed because of color of skin or race. We have to kick it out!

Hope to see him give up roles

Now that he made his money and received his accolades...

Pandering hard for that Oscar thirsty
